Abstract

Epidemiology is an important and powerful tool in public health used to monitor health, observe trends and identify risk factors for utilization in strategy, policy and planning of services and interventions. Unintentional injury is the leading cause of death in adolescents worldwide with motor vehicle injury and drowning the leading causes. In Israel the mortality rate for motor vehicle mortality rate for adolescents was found to be 10.6 per 100,000 and 1.0 per 100,000 for drowning. Studies have shown a decrease in injury and mortality over time, but there is still much to do and calculation studies have shown that it is possible to prevent further with targeted serious effort and strategies employed.
